If you think modern dating is a mess, Between Walls (aka Entre Paredes) is about to feel way too real. The new Hulu and Disney+ series, starring The House of Flowers queen Aislinn Derbez and Christian Vázquez, is the ultimate “should we or shouldn’t we?” situationship saga viewers are about to eat up. With dating apps, neighbor drama, and a love triangle twist, it’s got all the chaotic energy of your group chat’s worst dating horror stories — but way more fun to watch.
Aislinn sat down with Celeb Secrets to spill all the tea on the series, her own dating experiences, and that jaw-dropping behind-the-scenes revelation: her co-star was actually her ex-boyfriend IRL. Yep, you read that right.
Unlike your typical rom-com, Between Walls flips the script. “Most movies end with two people meeting, falling in love, and living happily ever after. This one starts that way and then hits the chaos button,” Aislinn explains to us.
Marga (Derbez) and Martín (Vazquez) match on a dating app, hit it off, and then discover they’re *gasp* neighbors. Rather than risk an ultra-awkward situation, they decide to shut it down before it even starts. But let’s be real — have you ever actually been able to ignore a situationship waiting to happen?
As the series unfolds, Marga juggles work as an event planner, an unexpected third-party love interest, and all kinds of neighborhood chaos. “At the middle of the series, everything changes. There’s a time jump, and suddenly, there’s a love triangle,” Aislinn teases. “And that third person? One of my favorite characters! He’s super funny, adorable, and a little narcissistic.”
Now that episodes 5 and 6 are here on Hulu today (February 19), things are getting even more intense for Marga and Martín. In episode 5, Marga joins Martín on a trip to visit his uncle, while her best friend Kari is left to finalize preparations for Patrisha’s big party. But just when everything seems to be going smoothly, a small but crucial detail threatens to ruin the entire event.
Fast forward to episode 6, and six months have passed. Marga has fully immersed herself in her event planning career, expanding her business with Kari and seemingly adjusting to life in the building. But just when she thinks she’s moved on, Martín returns from a long trip, reigniting old emotions and bringing back all the unresolved tension between them. Will they finally take the plunge, or are they doomed to stay just neighbors forever?
In Between Walls, Marga jumps into the world of dating apps, something Aislinn knows a thing or two about. “I think all three people I’ve dated in the last five years I met through social media — not dating apps, but still!” she laughs. But don’t expect her to fall for the classic profile flexes. “Guys in sunglasses, looking all model-y? Immediate no. It just feels so fake.”
If she had to make her own dating app bio? “Deep connections only. No superficial vibes. I love adventure, reading, and I live in extremes — I’m a mom, an actress, a producer, and an entrepreneur. Good luck keeping up!”
As if the show’s drama wasn’t enough, Aislinn dropped the bombshell: Christian Vázquez, her co-star and on-screen love interest, was actually her boyfriend 15 years ago. “It was definitely weird and awkward at first,” she admits. “But then it just felt natural.” If there’s a Hall of Fame for messy but iconic casting choices, this one deserves a top spot.
And the on-set connections don’t stop there — her real-life best friend Marianna Burelli plays her bestie in the show, and they even own a company together IRL. Talk about life imitating art!
For those wondering what kind of vibe Between Walls brings to your next streaming marathon, Aislinn sums it up in three words: “Cozy, fun, and bingeable.” Think of it as the perfect comfort watch — like those feel-good holiday rom-coms, but way spicier.
As for what’s next? If there’s a Season 2, Aislinn has some ideas. “Marga is so fed up with love, maybe she starts exploring something totally unexpected — like dating women instead of men. Why not?” she says with a smile
So, if your 2025 dating life is already on a rollercoaster, at least you can take comfort in watching Marga navigate her own romantic chaos. Between Walls is now streaming on Hulu and Disney+ — and trust us, you’ll want to swipe right on this one.
